Hey there, hi there, Christine! Welcome to planDisney. We are so glad you've stopped by to ask us your ticket question!
I'm excited to hear you have a trip planned to Disneyland Resort very soon! If you have a member of your party who does not have a ticket yet, I highly recommend
purchasing a ticket now and not waiting until you arrive at Disneyland Resort if there is availability. While tickets are available for purchase on-site at the Main Entrance Ticket Booths, this does not guarantee entry into the parks for that day if the reservations are already booked for the day. Suppose there is no availability online to purchase a ticket and
make a reservation. In that case, there won't be availability to make a reservation for the ticket you purchased in person, whether it's a minor or adult. Each Guest age 3 and above needs both a ticket and a reservation to enter the parks.
The
reservation system is fluid, so this means as Guests cancel, reschedule, and book, the availability can change. I would keep checking the calendar in hopes that a reservation opens up. If one does, act fast! Also, keep looking at different ticket types, both one park per day and park hopper as they can have different availability.
Christine, I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for. I am hopeful that pixie dust is headed your way and you'll come across some availability to snag that last ticket. See you real soon!
Carrie
